About the event

We offer a solidarity hike that enables people with disabilities to discover nature with the help of our Joëletten. Joëletten are hiking chairs that have been specially designed for use on hiking trails. They are equipped with electric assistance and require three people to ensure the safety of the passengers.
The hike is 12 km long and climbs 300 m uphill. 

We welcome volunteers at 9:00 a.m. with coffee and croissants, followed by training on how to operate the Joëletten. People with disabilities arrive at 10:00 a.m. 

We provide the picnic ourselves.
The return is planned for around 4:00 p.m. 

These Joëlette tours are an opportunity to experience extraordinary moments of sharing and solidarity, and we look forward to seeing you again.
